THE NEW | The Orbit buses will take over July 23 starting with two routes. The new buses will replace the Neighborhood Flash, which was never meant to last as long as it did. The new routes, called Mercury and Venus, will include east and west Tempe.

Later this month, Tempe will launch the new Orbit neighborhood circulator service to replace the Neighborhood Flash, which city officials say was never meant to be around so long.
